Default Just got used tires..

I just got some used tires with the wheels I bought and they seem to have quite a lot of tread left on them. I want to put the new wheels on while it's sunny out because Seattle rarely gets any sunshine ..

My question is, should I get them rotated and balanced before I put them on or can I just throw them on there?

Sorry if this is a complete noob question .. haha

haha well rotating means switching the location of your wheels on the car. ie front right to left rear, and front left to right rear.

but the balance should be okay if there are weights on the wheels already. if not, just slap them on and see if there are any vibrations. if not, then they should be good.
